| Reading the latest article from Daily Star, this bit bothers me a little 'York Court will get some planning benefit (on land) elsewhere that will help them fund the new stadium'. Shouldn't they have had all this funding set in place (one way or another) when they passed the original plans years ago? Unless the plan all along was not to build the stadium, of course.

| Having now had the chance to read this Star report I am slightly more encouraged. But let's face it, we have had more promises than we care to recall. When I see building I will start to believe it

Why do you think he can deliver something with a new Trust when he has failed to deliver with the existing Trust that was specifically set up by the Council to facilitate the delivery of the Community Stadium for the people of Wakefield that the developer promised in the PI.

No idea, he won't tell anyone.

| Quote: bren2k "So Rodney is working with YC to create a Trust that excludes the most vocal/objectionable (in their eyes) members of the original Trust?
There will be a part of most of us that thinks "whatever - if it gets built I don't care." I don't like it though - the Trust existed as a vehicle to deliver this project, and it shouldn't be for the developer to pick and choose how that vehicle is constituted. It stinks.'"
+1 from me, Bren and it's getting smellier by the day !!!
If those 3 reprehensible characters are the only ones making decisions on this, then it will only be for their respective benefit, one way or another

Because he's chosen to make it a Rodders glory thing. By going on his own, he can flaunt his success. I'm not sure he would if he thought it would end in failure.
It does seem strange that he has chosen this route when there appears to be new statements of intent from the developer and the council. I don't for a minute suggest there's anything honourable in it. The fact that he's done this, however, makes me think that he's seen a finishing line ahead, and he wants to cross it alone, arms aloft.

This is from an article in the Guardian a couple of years ago
Very illuminating thanks. I guess it is more obvious what is going on now you read that. I just hope the benefit the local authority extracts is, this time, our stadium!

The Sir Rodney Stadium, do agree though politicians do not normally tie themselves to a lost cause.

| Whoever finalises the deal, the supporters of this club know who drove the campaign, who worked hard in their own time to keep the pressure up. It doesn't matter who gets to pose in the paper. If there's a new stadium, I know who to thank.
